I have the Black and Tan Lariat. Has anyone painted all of the tan before to just make it an all black truck? Either professionally or done themselves either-or will help. Just something I'm pondering on this crappy Sunday evening.

I know someone with a black lifted lariat has done it. I don't know his name though and I think he used bed liner. The two tone tan is growing on me. My next one might be a king ranch white/tan.

Thought about it, just wondering if anyone has PTM'd it. I bedlined my surround and plasti dipped my side steps, which needs to come off and be bedlined. I'd like the tan to just be black not a matte.

if you decide to paint it, id use bedliner. that way you get the blackout look while also getting extra protection of the lower part of the body when offroading. im debating on this too... not sure if i want to keep the body all silver or get get that bottom section blacked out......

Al's Liner works good for rocker panels/lower body panels. It comes in black, tan, and gray. You also have the option of color matching it to your paint by mixing in auto paint tint (from an auto paint store). So, you can spray bed liner on the tan lower panels and they will color match your black paint. http://alsliner.com/alsliner

Ill tell you what don't do it. I'm in the same boat you are and the color combo has really grown on me. I'm getting the black front and rear emblems and painting the grill surround. Other than that I just need new wheels since the stock ones look like crap.
